Kolkata, Aug 27 : FC Goa midfielder Phrangki Buam has joined Kolkata outfit Mohammedan Sporting on loan for the 2021-22 season.

The youngster, who arrived on Goan shores last season after sealing a permanent move from Shillong Lajong, is set to link up with the Black Panthers for their campaigns in the upcoming

season, a club official here on Friday said.

Buam will be aiming to help Andrey Chernyshov’s side chase glory in the Durand Cup and the

Calcutta Football League before striding on to the upcoming I-League season.

The boy from Meghalaya will look to get back to his best in the I-League, a tournament where

he first shot to prominence during the 2018/19 campaign – where he finished as the

second-highest Indian goalscorer thanks to his 6 strikes in 20 matches.

The 20-year-old made only one appearance for the Gaurs last season, coming on as a substitute

for FC Goa in their last AFC Champions League game against Al Wahda.

Speaking on the move, FC Goa Head Coach Juan Ferrando stated, “Phrangki is a very professional boy. It has been a pleasure for me and the coaching staff to work with him. He is supremely talented

and with the move, I hope he gets to play a lot of minutes and come back to FC Goa soon with a

wealth of experience under his belt because for him, I believe the best is yet to come. All the best Phrangki.”(UNI)
